About Guilford
Guilford Prickette is a licensed professional counselor with twenty years of experience based in Alaska. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. He also offers coaching for practical goals and day-to-day coping skills.
Guilford takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions center on what the client wants to change or understand, and conversations move at a practical pace. He listens first, then helps people set small, achievable steps toward relief and clearer choices.
Background and approach
He works with a wide range of concerns, including panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and somatic symptoms that show up as physical worry. He also supports people dealing with gender dysphoria, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination. Guilford pays attention to how cultural background shapes each person’s experience.
His style draws on client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often focus on clients’ strengths, motivation, and practical plans for change. The goal is to make progress you can notice in daily life.
Guilford practices as an LPC in Alaska and conducts sessions in English. He aims to create an affirming, respectful space where people can talk honestly, try new coping skills, and track real improvements over time.
How Guilford’s Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building the conversation around their goals. Online sessions use this approach to help clients feel heard and to guide decisions that fit their life.Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to boost a person’s readiness to change. Through questions and reflection, it helps people resolve ambivalence and move toward concrete steps, which works well for issues like procrastination, substance concerns, or behavior shifts.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes that lead to noticeable results. Sessions often identify immediate next steps and track progress week to week, making it easy to measure what is working.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Guilford will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few tactics and adjusting them based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel needs, and use lower-bandwidth choices when needed.
